Many years ago, I met Mary Behr in Arnhem. Originally from Sunderland, she lived in Alexandestraat, West Arnhem and during the Battle had soldiers fighting through her house.
She had many photographs of people who had come to visit her over the years. One was the mother of this young soldier, who had given her a photo of John Fisher.
Mary is now no longer with us, but had many stories to tell!
